Season 1 - Episode 21 - Aired 2/3/2007
Tom is a crooked tax collector who finagles the poor mice of a village out of every coin they have, even Jerry. A band of Beatle-esque rats sets up at the outskirts of town and performs a rock song called "The Itch": (which only consists of the line "Swing around and curtsy. Diggin' in the dirtsy. Twitchin'. Stichin'.", "We all dance the Itch."). The song is about to play until Jerry tries to play flute with the band, but is booted unceremoniously offstage. When the song starts all the mice dance in a weird way. Jerry then realizes why the audience is dancing—the music is controlling swarms of fleas, making them move with frentic scratching. With some help from Tom and the band, Jerry convinces the villagers to leap off a nearby bluff into the lake, washing the pests off. Later the grateful band rocks on to an appreciative flealess crowd. Jerry is the featured floutist, and Tom is the ticket taker.

Season 2 - Episode 32 - Aired 2/9/2008
The episode is an updating of the classic Tom and Jerry film The Zoot Cat (1944); it also has some elements of Solid Serenade (1946), with Tom wooing a female cat by singing and accompanying himself on strings. Tom is drawn the way he looked in the films from that period, and the episodes featured the same girl cat (Sherkie), though modernized. Tom now sings to her with a guitar, and in 1950s style blues. He is more interested in pursuing Jerry than in the girl, however, and wrecks the house during the chase which leads him and the mouse to getting the boot in the end.
